We had a little Halloween luncheon at work on Friday, and I spent the entire week debating what to take. Since I like to spend at least six hours on a given post (I kid, I kid...I really kid), I have to show you what I came up with a couple days after the fact.

(my poor excuse for a costume)

I'll be the first to admit that I'm one of the least creative people in NYin Americaon the planet. What follows is the absolute best I could do (don't judge me).

Yep. Rice Krispies treats. Whoever came up with the first batch of these puppies deserves a monument in her honor, wouldn't you say? It's a real gem of a recipe.

(Meanwhile, have you seen the massive sheets they've created? They're for the real lover of Rice Krispies treats, like my pal James.)(Miss you, James.)

Anyway, some I decorated like eyeballs with a chocolate-covered blueberry in the middle, and others I molded into logs with an almond on the end and designed to look like a finger.

You've probably seen the cookie versions of these, so clearly they're not an original thought. Frankly, I'm just proud of myself for breaking out the decorating gels and actually personalizing them.

Really, I thought your costume I idea was great. I wish I remembered to tell people that's what I was when I took Babygirl trick or treating! As far as your treats go they were but a bump in the road. C'mon you're awesome! Think of the yummies you're created and with "throw away" ingredients.~ingrid
